We are a pan-Wales research centre dedicated to women’s health, funded by Health and Care Research Wales.
Women’s Health Research Wales will put the improvement of women’s health and wellbeing and women’s voices as the driving force of our work.
Our Aims:
Over the next five years we will catalyse and energise effort across Wales in these five areas:
Our research will focus on four thematic areas:
Disease risk and moderators, including biological transitions, screening and prevention to improve women’s health and ensure healthy transitions.
Management of health conditions that uniquely or disproportionately affect women which are not preventable but can be managed.
Sex and gender effects in rare diseases and stigmatised conditions as these are poorly understood compared to other conditions.
Intersectionality of social identities and how they moderate causes, manifestation and progression of disease, and access and response to healthcare.
